Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Rituximab and Yttrium Y 90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory AIDS-Related Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Overview

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, methylprednisolone, cytarabine, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

  • Follicular large B-cell lymphoma (follicular, grade 3)
  • Mycobacterium avium allowed
  • Platelet count \> 75,000/mm\^3 (unless abnormal due to lymphomatous involvement of the bone marrow or HIV-related thrombocytopenia)
  • Evaluable disease defined as not having bidimensional measurements (i.e., gastric or marrow involvement) but can be followed for response by other diagnostic tests, such as gallium scan, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and/or bone marrow biopsy
  • Measurable or evaluable disease
  • Concurrent effective highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) required at study entry
  • Follicular mixed cell lymphoma (follicular, grade 2)
  • Prior chronic therapy with potentially myelosuppressive agents allowed provided hematologic criteria are met at study entry
  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
  • Creatinine \< 2.0 mg/dL (\< 2.6 mg/dL if due to use of tenofovir or truvada) OR creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min
  • Seropositive for HIV by any approved test or positive HIV-1 RNA in plasma at anytime in the past
  • Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (unless elevated due to lymphomatous involvement of the liver or biliary tract OR due to other HIV medications \[e.g., indinavir or atazanavir\])
  • HIV viral load \< 100,000 copies/mL if HAART was not used previously
  • All stages eligible
  • Granulocyte count \> 1,000/mm\^3 (unless abnormal due to lymphomatous involvement of the bone marrow)

  • No anticancer therapy within the past 3 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin C)
  • No history of any cutaneous or mucocutaneous reaction from prior rituximab administration
  • No radiotherapy within the past 4 weeks, unless for emergency conditions secondary to lymphoma (i.e., cord compression)
